Method of treatment

ABSTRACT

The present invention relates to a method of treating T cell mediated inflammatory immune diseases or T cell mediated hypersensitivity diseases, which comprises administering to a human in need thereof an effective amount of a compound which inhibits EZH2 and/or EZH1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to compounds which inhibit EZH2/EZH1 and their uses for treating T cell mediated inflammatory immune diseases.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Posttranslational modifications of proteins play a critical role in the regulation of signal transduction from receptors, chromatin remodelling and gene transcription. These modifications include acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitinylation, SUMOylation. EZH (enhancer of zeste homolog) 1 and 2 are the catalytic subunits of the Polycomb Repressor Complex 2 (PRC2) and exhibit methyltransferase activity that can catalyse the methylation of lysine amino acids (Margueron R, Reinberg D: The Polycomb complex PRC2 and its mark in life. Nature. 2011 Jan. 20; 469 (7330):343-9)

EZH1 and EZH2 play a critical role in the epigenetic long term silencing of gene expression by di- or tri-methylating lysine 27 of histone H3 (H3K27me2/3). Histone H3 is one of the five main histone proteins involved in the structure of chromatin in eukaryotic cells. Chromatin is the complex combination of DNA and protein that makes up chromosomes. It is found inside the nuclei of eukaryotic cells and is divided between heterochromatin (condensed) and euchromatin (extended). The basic building blocks of chromatin are nucleosomes, each of which is composed of 146 base pairs of DNA wrapped around a histone octamer that consists of 2 copies of each H2A, H2B, H3 and H4. The functions of chromatin are to package DNA into a smaller volume to fit in the cell, to strengthen the DNA to allow mitosis and meiosis, and to serve as a mechanism to control gene expression and DNA replication. The chromatin structure is controlled by a series of post translational modifications to histone proteins, notably histones H3 and H4, and most commonly within the “histone tails” which extend beyond the core nucleosome structure. Binding of enzymes and adaptor proteins to posttranslational modification in histone tails regulates chromatin dynamics and gene expression. H3K27me3 is thought to silence gene expression by recruiting histone deacetylases to the modified nucleosomes and stall transcriptional elongation by polymerase II. Thus, inhibition of the enzymatic activity of EZH1 and EZH2 may result in a loss of H3K27me3 and up-regulation of target genes.

In addition to its nuclear function in histone H3 modification EZH2 has been implicated in the regulation of signal transduction that leads to actin polymerization in the cytoplasm of cells (Su I H, Dobenecker M W, Dickinson E, Oser M, Basavaraj A, Marqueron R, Viale A, Reinberg D, Wülfing C, Tarakhovsky A: Polycomb group protein ezh2 controls actin polymerization and cell signaling. Cell. 2005 May 6; 121(3):425-36). The reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton critically contributes to T cell responses by facilitating the interaction of T cells with antigen presenting cells or target cells. In addition, actin remodelling plays an important role in T cell migration and motility during their recruitment to the sites of inflammation. A fraction of EZH2 protein was found to localize to the cytoplasm of T cells and to interact with the small GTPase VAV1, which is involved in actin remodelling. Genetic elimination of EZH2 resulted in impaired polymerization of actin in TCR stimulated T cells or at the T cell-antigen presenting cell interphase. Furthermore, actin polymerization induced by EZH2 over-expression was dependent on the methyltransferase activity of EZH2. Proliferation of T cells in response to TCR was also impaired in the absence of EZH2. Thus, inhibition of EZH1 and/or EZH2 may suppress the activation of T cells.

Mature T cell respond to foreign peptide antigens in the presence of appropriate co-stimulation by antigen presenting cells. They have the capability to discriminate between self and non self as a consequence of the selection of a TCR repertoire specific for foreign antigens in the thymus, tolerance induction of self reactive T cell clones in the periphery, and control of T cell activation by self antigen by regulatory T cells. T cells provide protection against different classes of pathogens by mediating distinct types of adaptive immune responses as a consequence of the expression of distinct sets of cytokines and other soluble and cell-bound products. In addition, they act as principle amplifiers and inducers of the appropriate inflammatory and effector responses in cells of the innate immune system and nonimmune cells. While such concerted immune responses can provide powerful protection against pathogens it can also result in inflammation associated with unwanted immune responses against self and environmental antigens and commensal microorganisms as well as collateral damage to the host as a side effect of immune responses against pathogens. CD8 T cells can lyse cells bearing intracellular pathogens but may also contribute to tissue damage and secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines, e.g. TNF and IFNg. CD4 T cells can have diverse functions in inflammation depending on their specific cytokine expression profiles. CD4⁺ Th1 cells are important for the clearance of intracellular pathogens but also play a critical role in inflammation through the expression of TNF and IFNg. IL-17 expressing CD4⁺ Th17 cells, which mediate neutrophilia and tissue remodelling and repair, have also been shown to be involved in many inflammatory conditions. CD4⁺ Th2 cells are involved in allergic responses by expressing IL-13, IL-5 and IL-4 which mediate airway hyper reactivity, eosinophil recruitment and IgE production. Thus, T cell activation is considered central to many inflammatory immune diseases. Accordingly, compounds that inhibit EZH1 and/or EZH2 activity and suppress T cell activation would be useful for the treatment of T cell mediated inflammatory immune diseases.

Inhibitors of EZH1/EZH2 that are useful in treating cancer have been reported in PCT applications PCT/US2011/035336, PCT/US2011/035340, and PCT/US2011/035344.

As used herein, the term “optionally” means that the subsequently described event(s) may or may not occur, and includes both event(s) that occur and event(s) that do not occur.

As used herein, unless otherwise defined, the phrase “optionally substituted” or variations thereof denote an optional substitution, including multiple degrees of substitution, with one or more substitutent group. The phrase should not be interpreted as duplicative of the substitutions herein described and depicted. Exemplary optional substituent groups include acyl, C₁-C₆alkyl, C₁-C₃alkylsulfonyl, C₁-C₃alkoxy, C₁-C₃alkoxycarbonyl, cyano, halogen, haloalkyl, hydroxyl, oxo, and nitro.

The term “independently” means that where more than one substituent is selected from a number of possible substituents, those substituents may be the same or different.

An “effective amount” means that amount of a drug or pharmaceutical agent that will elicit the biological or medical response of a tissue, system, animal or human that is being sought, for instance, by a researcher or clinician. Furthermore, the term “therapeutically effective amount” means any amount which, as compared to a corresponding subject who has not received such amount, results in improved treatment, healing, prevention, or amelioration of a disease, disorder, or side effect, or a decrease in the rate of advancement of a disease or disorder. The term also includes within its scope amounts effective to enhance normal physiological function.

As used herein the term “alkyl” refers to a straight- or branched-chain hydrocarbon radical having the specified number of carbon atoms, so for example, as used herein, the terms “C₁-C₈alkyl” refers to an alkyl group having at least 1 and up to 8 carbon atoms respectively. Examples of such branched or straight-chained alkyl groups useful in the present invention include, but are not limited to, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, isobutyl, n-butyl, t-butyl, n-pentyl, isopentyl, n-hexyl, n-heptyl, and n-octyl and branched analogs of the latter 5 normal alkanes.

The term “alkoxy” as used herein means —O(C₁-C₈alkyl) including —OCH₃, —OCH₂CH₃ and —OC(CH₃)₃ and the like per the definition of alkyl above.

The term “alkylthio” as used herein is meant —S(C₁-C₈alkyl) including —SCH₃, —SCH₂CH₃ and the like per the definition of alkyl above.

The term “acyloxy” means —OC(O)C₁-C₈alkyl and the like per the definition of alkyl above.

“Acylamino” means-N(H)C(O)C₁-C₈alkyl and the like per the definition of alkyl above.

“Aryloxy” means —O(aryl), —O(substituted aryl), —O(heteroaryl) or —O(substituted heteroaryl).

“Arylamino” means —NH(aryl), —NH(substituted aryl), —NH(heteroaryl) or —NH(substituted heteroaryl), and the like.

When the term “alkenyl” (or “alkenylene”) is used it refers to straight or branched hydrocarbon chains containing the specified number of carbon atoms and at least 1 and up to 5 carbon-carbon double bonds. Examples include ethenyl (or ethenylene) and propenyl (or propenylene).

When the term “alkynyl” (or “alkynylene”) is used it refers to straight or branched hydrocarbon chains containing the specified number of carbon atoms and at least 1 and up to 5 carbon-carbon triple bonds. Examples include ethynyl (or ethynylene) and propynyl (or propynylene).

“Haloalkyl” refers to an alkyl group that is substituted with one or more halo substituents, suitably from 1 to 6 substituents. Haloalkyl includes trifluoromethyl.

When “cycloalkyl” is used it refers to a non-aromatic, saturated, cyclic hydrocarbon ring containing the specified number of carbon atoms. So, for example, the term “C₃-C₈cycloalkyl” refers to a non-aromatic cyclic hydrocarbon ring having from three to eight carbon atoms. Exemplary “C₃-C₈cycloalkyl” groups useful in the present invention include, but are not limited to, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl and cyclooctyl.

The term “C₅-C₈cycloalkenyl” refers to a non-aromatic monocyclic carboxycyclic ring having the specified number of carbon atoms and up to 3 carbon-carbon double bonds. “Cycloalkenyl” includes by way of example cyclopentenyl and cyclohexenyl.

Where “C₃-C₈heterocycloalkyl” is used, it means a non-aromatic heterocyclic ring containing the specified number of ring atoms being, saturated or having one or more degrees of unsaturation and containing one or more heteroatom substitutions independently selected from O, S and N. Such a ring may be optionally fused to one or more other “heterocyclic” ring(s) or cycloalkyl ring(s). Examples are given herein below.

As used herein, the term “aryl”, unless otherwise defined, is meant aromatic, hydrocarbon, ring system. The ring system may be monocyclic or fused polycyclic (e.g., bicyclic, tricyclic, etc.), substituted or unsubstituted. In various embodiments, the monocyclic aryl ring is C5-C10, or C5-C7, or C5-C6, where these carbon numbers refer to the number of carbon atoms that form the ring system. A C6 ring system, i.e. a phenyl ring, is a suitable aryl group. In various embodiments, the polycyclic ring is a bicyclic aryl group, where suitable bicyclic aryl groups are C8-C12, or C9-C10. A naphthyl ring, which has 10 carbon atoms, is a suitable polycyclic aryl group. Suitable substituents for aryl, unless otherwise defined, are described below in the definition of “optionally substituted”.

As used herein, the term “heteroaryl”, unless otherwise defined, is meant an aromatic ring system containing carbon(s) and at least one heteroatom. Heteroaryl may be monocyclic or polycyclic, substituted or unsubstituted. A monocyclic heteroaryl group may have 1 to 4 heteroatoms in the ring, while a polycyclic heteroaryl may contain 1 to 10 hetero atoms. A polycyclic heteroaryl ring may contain fused, spiro or bridged ring junctions, for example, bicyclic heteroaryl is a polycyclic heteroaryl. Bicyclic heteroaryl rings may contain from 8 to 12 member atoms. Monocyclic heteroaryl rings may contain from 5 to 8 member atoms (carbons and heteroatoms). Exemplary heteroaryl groups include benzofuran, benzothiophene, furan, imidazole, indole, isothiazole, oxazole, pyrazine, pyrazole, pyridazine, pyridine, pyrimidine, pyrrole, quinoline, quinazoline, quinoxaline, thiazole, and thiophene. Suitable substituents for heteroaryl, unless otherwise defined are described below in the definition of “optionally substituted”

Provided herein are methods of treatment or prevention of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions and diseases that can be improved by inhibiting EZH1 and/or EZH2 and thereby, e.g., modulate the level of expression of methylation activated and methylation repressed target genes, or modulate the activity of signalling proteins. A method may comprise administering to a human, e.g. a human in need thereof, a therapeutically effective amount of an agent described herein.

Thus in one aspect there is provided the use of use of a compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof which inhibits EZH2 and/or EZH1 (i.e. an EZH2 and/or EZH1 inhibitor) in the manufacture of a medicament for treating T cell mediated inflammatory immune diseases or T cell mediated hypersensitivity diseases.

In a further aspect there is provided a method of treatment of T cell mediated inflammatory immune diseases or T cell mediated hypersensitivity diseases in a human comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of an EZH1 and/EZH2 inhibitor.

Inflammation represents a group of vascular, cellular and neurological responses to trauma. Inflammation can be characterised as the movement of inflammatory cells such as monocytes, neutrophils and granulocytes into the tissues. This is usually associated with reduced endothelial barrier function and oedema into the tissues. Inflammation can be classified as either acute or chronic. Acute inflammation is the initial response of the body to harmful stimuli and is achieved by the increased movement of plasma and leukocytes from the blood into the injured tissues. A cascade of biochemical event propagates and matures the inflammatory response, involving the local vascular system, the immune system, and various cells within the injured tissue. Prolonged inflammation, known as chronic inflammation, leads to a progressive shift in the type of cells which are present at the site of inflammation and is characterised by simultaneous destruction and healing of the tissue from the inflammatory process.

When occurring as part of an immune response to infection or as an acute response to trauma, inflammation can be beneficial and is normally self-limiting. However, inflammation can be detrimental under various conditions. This includes the production of excessive inflammation in response to infectious agents, which can lead to significant organ damage and death (for example, in the setting of sepsis). Moreover, chronic inflammation is generally deleterious and is at the root of numerous chronic diseases, causing severe and irreversible damage to tissues. In such settings, the immune response is often directed against self-tissues (autoimmunity), although chronic responses to foreign entities can also lead to bystander damage to self tissues.

The aim of anti-inflammatory therapy is therefore to reduce this inflammation, to inhibit autoimmunity when present and to allow for the physiological process or healing and tissue repair to progress.

The agents may be used to treat inflammation of any tissue and organs of the body, including musculoskeletal inflammation, vascular inflammation, neural inflammation, digestive system inflammation, ocular inflammation, inflammation of the reproductive system, and other inflammation, as exemplified below.

Other salts, which are not pharmaceutically acceptable, may be useful in the preparation of compounds for use in this invention. These salts, such as oxalic or trifluoroacetate, while not in themselves pharmaceutically acceptable, may be useful in the preparation of salts useful as intermediates in obtaining the compounds of the invention and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts.

Pharmaceutical compositions may be adapted for administration by any appropriate route, for example by the oral (including buccal or sublingual), rectal, nasal, topical (including buccal, sublingual or transdermal), vaginal or parenteral (including subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous or intradermal) route. Such compositions may be prepared by any method known in the art of pharmacy, for example by bringing into association a compound of formal (I) with the carrier(s) or excipient(s).

Pharmaceutical compositions adapted for oral administration may be presented as discrete units such as capsules or tablets; powders or granules; solutions or suspensions in aqueous or non-aqueous liquids; edible foams or whips; or oil-in-water liquid emulsions or water-in-oil liquid emulsions.

Capsules are made by preparing a powder mixture, as described above, and filling formed gelatin sheaths. Glidants and lubricants such as colloidal silica, talc, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate or solid polyethylene glycol can be added to the powder mixture before the filling operation. A disintegrating or solubilizing agent such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate or sodium carbonate can also be added to improve the availability of the medicament when the capsule is ingested.

Moreover, when desired or necessary, suitable binders, lubricants, disintegrating agents and coloring agents can also be incorporated into the mixture. Suitable binders include starch, gelatin, natural sugars such as glucose or beta-lactose, corn sweeteners, natural and synthetic gums such as acacia, tragacanth or sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol, waxes and the like. Lubricants used in these dosage forms include sodium oleate, sodium stearate, magnesium stearate, sodium benzoate, sodium acetate, sodium chloride and the like. Disintegrators include, without limitation, starch, methyl cellulose, agar, bentonite, xanthan gum and the like. Tablets are formulated, for example, by preparing a powder mixture, granulating or slugging, adding a lubricant and disintegrant and pressing into tablets. A powder mixture is prepared by mixing the compound, suitably comminuted, with a diluent or base as described above, and optionally, with a binder such as carboxymethylcellulose, an aliginate, gelatin, or polyvinyl pyrrolidone, a solution retardant such as paraffin, a resorption accelerator such as a quaternary salt and/or an absorption agent such as bentonite, kaolin or dicalcium phosphate. The powder mixture can be granulated by tablet forming dies by means of the addition of stearic acid, a stearate salt, talc or mineral oil. The lubricated mixture is then compressed into tablets. The compounds for use in this invention can also be combined with a free flowing inert carrier and compressed into tablets directly without going through the granulating or slugging steps. A clear or opaque protective coating consisting of a sealing coat of shellac, a coating of sugar or polymeric material and a polish coating of wax can be provided. Dyestuffs can be added to these coatings to distinguish different unit dosages.

Oral fluids such as solution, syrups and elixirs can be prepared in dosage unit form so that a given quantity contains a predetermined amount of a compound of formula (I). Syrups can be prepared by dissolving the compound in a suitably flavored aqueous solution, while elixirs are prepared through the use of a non-toxic alcoholic vehicle. Suspensions can be formulated by dispersing the compound in a non-toxic vehicle. Solubilizers and emulsifiers such as ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols and polyoxy ethylene sorbitol ethers, preservatives, flavor additive such as peppermint oil or natural sweeteners or saccharin or other artificial sweeteners, and the like can also be added.

Where appropriate, dosage unit pharmaceutical compositions for oral administration can be microencapsulated. The formulation can also be prepared to prolong or sustain the release as for example by coating or embedding particulate material in polymers, wax or the like.

Pharmaceutical compositions adapted for rectal administration may be presented as suppositories or as enemas.

Pharmaceutical compositions adapted for vaginal administration may be presented as pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams or spray formulations.

Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for parenteral administration include aqueous and non-aqueous sterile injection solutions which may contain anti-oxidants, buffers, bacteriostats and solutes which render the composition isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient; and aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions which may include suspending agents and thickening agents. The pharmaceutical compositions may be presented in unit-dose or multi-dose containers, for example sealed ampoules and vials, and may be stored in a freeze-dried (lyophilized) condition requiring only the addition of the sterile liquid carrier, for example water for injections, immediately prior to use. Extemporaneous injection solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders, granules and tablets.

It should be understood that in addition to the ingredients particularly mentioned above, the pharmaceutical compositions may include other agents conventional in the art having regard to the type of formulation in question, for example those suitable for oral administration may include flavouring agents.

A therapeutically effective amount of a compound for use in this invention will depend upon a number of factors including, for example, the age and weight of the intended recipient, the precise condition requiring treatment and its severity, the nature of the formulation, and the route of administration, and will ultimately be at the discretion of the attendant prescribing the medication. However, an effective amount of a compound of formula (I) for the treatment of anemia will generally be in the range of 0.001 to 100 mg/kg body weight of recipient per day, suitably in the range of 0.01 to 10 mg/kg body weight per day. For a 70 kg adult mammal, the actual amount per day would suitably be from 7 to 700 mg and this amount may be given in a single dose per day or in a number (such as two, three, four, five or six) of sub-doses per day such that the total daily dose is the same. An effective amount of a salt or solvate, etc., may be determined as a proportion of the effective amount of the compound of formula (I) per se. It is envisaged that similar dosages would be appropriate for treatment of the other conditions referred to above.

Chemical Background

The present compounds are automatically named by computer software, eg. ISISdraw, ChemDraw, or eLNB. A person skilled in the art understands that there might be slight differences in the chemical names generated by different software. The compounds of this invention may be made by a variety of methods, including standard chemistry. Any previously defined variable will continue to have the previously defined meaning unless otherwise indicated. Illustrative general synthetic methods are set out below and then specific compounds of the invention as prepared are given in the examples.

Compounds of general formula (I) may be prepared by methods known in the art of organic synthesis as set forth in part by the following synthesis schemes. In all of the schemes described below, it is well understood that protecting groups for sensitive or reactive groups are employed where necessary in accordance with general principles of chemistry. Protecting groups are manipulated according to standard methods of organic synthesis (T. W. Green and P. G. M. Wuts (1991) Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley & Sons). These groups are removed at a convenient stage of the compound synthesis using methods that are readily apparent to those skilled in the art. The selection of processes as well as the reaction conditions and order of their execution shall be consistent with the preparation of compounds of formula (I). Those skilled in the art will recognize if a stereocenter exists in compounds of formula (I). Accordingly, the present invention includes both possible stereoisomers and includes not only racemic compounds but the individual enantiomers as well. Also included in the present invention are fully or partially deuterated forms of the present compounds. When a compound is desired as a single enantiomer, it may be obtained by stereospecific synthesis or by resolution of the final product or any convenient intermediate. Resolution of the final product, an intermediate, or a starting material may be effected by any suitable method known in the art. See, for example, Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds by E. L. Eliel, S. H. Wilen, and L. N. Mander (Wiley-Interscience, 1994).

The following guidelines apply to all experimental procedures described herein. All reactions were conducted under a positive pressure of nitrogen using oven-dried glassware, unless otherwise indicated. Temperatures designated are external (i.e. bath temperatures), and are approximate. Air and moisture-sensitive liquids were transferred via syringe. Reagents were used as received. Solvents utilized were those listed as “anhydrous” by vendors. Molarities listed for reagents in solutions are approximate, and were used without prior titration against a corresponding standard. All reactions were agitated by stir bar, unless otherwise indicated. Heating was conducted using heating baths containing silicon oil, unless otherwise indicated. Reactions conducted by microwave irradiation (0-400 W at 2.45 GHz) were done so using a Biotage Initiator™ 2.0 instrument with Biotage microwave EXP vials (0.2-20 mL) and septa and caps. Irradiation levels utilized (i.e. high, normal, low) based on solvent and ionic charge were based on vendor specifications. Cooling to temperatures below −70° C. was conducted using dry ice/acetone or dry ice/2-propanol. Magnesium sulfate and sodium sulfate used as drying agents were of anhydrous grade, and were used interchangeably. Solvents described as being removed “in vacuo” or “under reduced pressure” were done so by rotary evaporation.

Preparative normal phase silica gel chromatography was carried out using either a Teledyne ISCO CombiFlash Companion instrument with RediSep or ISCO Gold silica gel cartridges (4 g-330 g), or an Analogix IF280 instrument with SF25 silica gel cartridges (4 g-3-00 g), or a Biotage SP1 instrument with HP silica gel cartridges (10 g-100 g). Purification by reverse phase HPLC was conducted using a YMC-pack column (ODS-A 75×30 mm) as solid phase, unless otherwise noted. A mobile phase of 25 mL/min A (acetonitrile-0.1% TFA): B (water-0.1% TFA), 10-80% gradient A (10 min) was utilized with UV detection at 214 nM, unless otherwise noted.

A PE Sciex API 150 single quadrupole mass spectrometer (PE Sciex, Thornhill, Ontario, Canada) was operated using electrospray ionization in the positive ion detection mode. The nebulizing gas was generated from a zero air generator (Balston Inc., Haverhill, Mass., USA) and delivered at 65 psi and the curtain gas was high purity nitrogen delivered from a Dewar liquid nitrogen vessel at 50 psi. The voltage applied to the electrospray needle was 4.8 kV. The orifice was set at 25 V and mass spectrometer was scanned at a rate of 0.5 scan/sec using a step mass of 0.2 amu and collecting profile data.

Method A LCMS. Samples were introduced into the mass spectrometer using a CTC PAL autosampler (LEAP Technologies, Carrboro, N.C.) equipped with a hamilton 10 uL syringe which performed the injection into a Valco 10-port injection valve. The HPLC pump was a Shimadzu LC-10ADvp (Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, Columbia, Md.) operated at 0.3 mL/min and a linear gradient 4.5% A to 90% B in 3.2 min. with a 0.4 min. hold. The mobile phase was composed of 100% (H₂O 0.02% TFA) in vessel A and 100% (CH₃CN 0.018% TFA) in vessel B. The stationary phase is Aquasil (C18) and the column dimensions were 1 mm×40 mm. Detection was by UV at 214 nm, evaporative light-scattering (ELSD) and MS.

Method B, LCMS. Alternatively, an Agilent 1100 analytical HPLC system with an LC/MS was used and operated at 1 mL/min and a linear gradient 5% A to 100% B in 2.2 min with a 0.4 min hold. The mobile phase was composed of 100% (H₂O 0.02% TFA) in vessel A and 100% (CH₃CN 0.018% TFA) in vessel B. The stationary phase was Zobax (C8) with a 3.5 um particle size and the column dimensions were 2.1 mm×50 mm. Detection was by UV at 214 nm, evaporative light-scattering (ELSD) and MS.

Method C, LCMS. Alternatively, an MDSSCIEX API 2000 equipped with a capillary column of (50×4.6 mm, 5 μm) was used. HPLC was done on Agilent-1200 series UPLC system equipped with column Zorbax SB-C18 (50×4.6 mm, 1.8 μm) eluting with CH₃CN: ammonium acetate buffer. The reactions were performed in the microwave (CEM, Discover).

¹H-NMR spectra were recorded at 400 MHz using a Bruker AVANCE 400 MHz instrument, with ACD Spect manager v. 10 used for reprocessing. Multiplicities indicated are: s=singlet, d=doublet, t=triplet, q=quartet, quint=quintet, sxt=sextet, m=multiplet, dd=doublet of doublets, dt=doublet of triplets etc. and br indicates a broad signal. All NMRs in DMSO unless otherwise noted.

Analytical HPLC: Products were analyzed by Agilent 1100 Analytical Chromatography system, with 4.5×75 mm Zorbax XDB-C18 column (3.5 um) at 2 mL/min with a 4 min gradient from 5% CH₃CN (0.1% formic acid) to 95% CH₃CN (0.1% formic acid) in H₂O (0.1% formic acid) and a 1 min hold.

The compounds of formula (I) can be made according to Scheme 1 or by analogous methods. Methyl 6-bromo-1H-indole-4-carboxylate (I) is alkylated with an alkyl halide in the presence of base (e.g. sodium hydride) or with an alcohol in the presence of (cyanomethyl)trimethylphosphonium chloride and base (e.g. sodium hydride) to give compounds of Formula II. Saponification of the ester with aqueous base provides compounds of Formula III, which are coupled to various aminomethylpyridones IV utilizing standard peptide coupling reagents (e.g. EDC, HOAT, NMM) to furnish compounds of Formula V. Palladium-mediated cross-coupling of various boronic acids (or boronates) with V provides compounds of Formula VI.

The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The compounds were named using ACD Name software [Advanced Chemistry Development, Inc., (ACD/Labs), Toronto, Canada. (http://www.acdlabs.com/products/name_lab/)].

Example 1 6-Bromo-N-[(4,6-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3-pyridinyl)methyl]-1-(1-methylethyl)-1H-indole-4-carboxamide

1a) Methyl 6-bromo-1-(1-methylethyl)-1H-indole-4-carboxylate

To a cooled (0° C.) solution of methyl 6-bromo-1H-indole-4-carboxylate (1.0 g, 3.94 mmol) solid in N,N-dimethylformamide (25 mL) was added sodium hydride (0.173 g, 4.33 mmol). The reaction was stirred for 15 min, at which time 2-bromopropane (0.554 mL, 5.90 mmol) was added. The reaction was then allowed to warm to RT and was maintained overnight. LCMS showed about 25% starting material remaining. The reaction was heated at 45° C. for 4 h, but no further conversion was noted. The reaction vessel was put back into an ice bath and stirred for 15 min. Then excess NaH (60%) was added, stirred for 10 min, and then 2-bromopropane (excess) was added. The ice bath was removed and the reaction stirred for 1 h. Approximately half of the reaction volume was removed in vacuo and poured into saturated NH₄Cl (200 mL). This was extracted with ether (2×) and the combined organics were washed with brine, dried (MgSO₄), and concentrated. Purification by column chromatography (80 g Isco silica column; Gradient B: 5-25%, A: hexane, B: ethyl acetate) gave methyl 6-bromo-1-(1-methylethyl)-1H-indole-4-carboxylate (0.53 g, 1.718 mmol, 43.7% yield).

1b) 6-Bromo-1-(1-methylethyl)-1H-indole-4-carboxylic acid

To a solution of methyl 6-bromo-1-(1-methylethyl)-1H-indole-4-carboxylate (0.52 g, 1.756 mmol) in methanol (15 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (3 mL) was added 3 M NaOH (1.756 mL, 5.27 mmol) via syringe drop wise (over 2 min). The solution was maintained at RT for 2 h, at which time LCMS showed only 12% conversion to product. Then 1.5 mL 3 M NaOH was added and the solution was maintained at RT overnight. LCMS showed complete conversion to product. Removed volatiles in vacuo and dissolved the residue in water and slowly acidified with 1 M HCl (solids precipitated). Extracted with EtOAc (2×), combined organics and dried over MgSO₄.

Thus the use of FCC was abandoned and switched to gravity column.

The remaining 8 portions were recombined and dissolved in CHCl₃, followed by adding to a silica gel column (500 g of coarse grade silica gel packed in 25% EtOAc in hexane), and then elution with 1 L of 25% EtOAc in hexane, 1 L of 50% EtOAc, 1 L of 75% EtOAc in hexane, 2 L of 100% EtOAc, 1 L of EtOAc with 25 mL increments of MeOH. The desired product eluted at 100% EtOAc, 25 mL-100 mL of MeOH in EtOAc fractions.

The EtOAc fractions were combined with the FCC purified material. The mixture was conc in vacuo. The residue was taken up in MTBE (5 mL) and hexane (100 mL) as a suspension, which was filtered.

EXAMPLES Proliferation Studies

The EZH1/EZH2 inhibitors, Compound A and Compound B, concentration-dependently impaired T cell receptor-induced proliferation of CD4+ T cells with a pIC50 of 5.30±0.06 and 4.93±0.05 respectively (n=4; FIG. 1). In contrast, Compound C had no effect on T cell receptor-induced proliferation of CD4+ T cells (n=4).

Cytokine Production Studies:

The EZH1/EZH2 inhibitors, Compound A and Compound B, concentration-dependently impaired T cell receptor-induced production of IL-10, IL-13, IL-17, IFN & TNF in CD4+ T cells with pIC50 values ranging between 5.65±0.06-5.23±0.03 and 5.21±0.09-4.94±0.03 respectively (n=4; FIG. 2 & FIG. 4. In contrast, Compound C had no effect on T cell receptor-induced production of IL-17 or IFN in CD4+ T cells (n=4). High concentrations of Compound C (i.e. >15 μM) reduced IL-10, IL-13 & TNF production (n=4).

The EZH1/EZH2 inhibitors, Compound A and Compound B, concentration-dependently impaired T cell receptor-induced production of IL-2 in CD4+ T cells with pIC50 values of 6.24±0.24 and 5.76±0.25 respectively (n=4; FIG. 3). Compound C also impaired T cell receptor-induced production of IL-2 in CD4+ T cells, although a pIC50 could not be calculated (n=4; FIG. 3).

Methods:

CD4 T Cell Isolation from Human Blood:

15 mls ficoll was added to 8×50 mL accuspin tubes per donor and centrifuged at 2000 RPM for 1 min. Whole blood samples (200 mL+1% heparin) were collected from human donors. Approximately 25 ml blood was added to each ficoll pre-filled 50 ml falcon tubes with filter and centrifuged at 1500 RPM for 20 min with the brake off to avoid disturbing cell separation. 45 ml with PBS was added to the PBMC fraction of each tube and centrifuged at 1500 RPM for 10 min with brake. Supernatant were discarded and cell pellets resuspended in 2 ml PBS. Cell suspensions for each donor were recombined into a single falcon tube, made up to 45 ml with PBS and centrifuged at 1500 RPM for 10 min. CD4+ T cells were isolated by negative depletion using a CD4 T cell Isolation Kit from Miltenyi Biotech according to manufacturers protocol.

Proliferation Studies:

96-well flat-bottom plates were coated with 10 μg/mL anti-CD3+2 μg/mL anti-CD28 at 4′C overnight. The following day, plates were washed with PBS. For proliferation studies, cells were stained with CFSE (Invitrogen) according to manufacturer's protocol. Cells were then added to anti-CD3+anti-CD28 pre-coated 96-well plates at 0.2×10⁶ cells/well in the presence of EZH1/EZH2 inhibitors (Compound A & Compound B), an inactive control compound (Compound C) or vehicle (0.1% DMSO) and incubated for 6 days at 37′C/5% CO2. Cells were then transferred to 96-well round-bottom plates, washed and then analysed by flow cytometry.

Cytokine Production Studies:

96-well flat-bottom plates were coated with 10 μg/mL anti-CD3+2 μg/mL anti-CD28 at 4′C overnight. The following day, plates were washed with PBS. For cytokine production studies, cells were added to anti-CD3+anti-CD28 pre-coated 96-well plates at 0.4×10⁶ cells/well in the presence of EZH1/EZH2 inhibitors or vehicle and incubated at 37′C/5% CO2. Supernatants were taken 18 h (IL-2) or 72 h (IL-10, IL-13, IL-17, IFN, TNF) for determination of cytokine production by multiplex ELISA from Mesoscale discovery according to the manufacturers protocols.
